Chapter 384 - 383: Unknowingly, Three Nations Cannot Do Without Her

"Hmm, how should I put it? Every time I see this scene, I can’t get used to it."

In a special room, Lumine and Paimon stood together at the doorway, watching Miss Delezie and Shenhe who were constantly doing something to a body on the table, and expressed their opinions.

Paimon was so scared she hid behind Lumine. Being timid, the strong smell of blood in the room and the scene on the floor, which looked like a crime scene, made her unable to eat anything that night.

"Is that so? I thought you were already used to it. After all, when you go out to deal with Hilichurls and other Gods, you always do this kind of thing, don’t you?"

"That’s true, but their bodies quickly disappear. And dealing with them gives me much less psychological pressure, but... but this isn’t a God, it’s a living person."

When you usually go to the market to buy groceries, you’ll always see scenes of chickens being slaughtered or other meat animals, right? Slitting a chicken’s throat to drain its blood, even a child has probably seen such a scene.

But can you say that this scene is the same as a person? Most people only see similar scenes in TV dramas or movies. The pressure of seeing it with your own eyes is no joke.

"Calm down, Lumine. Don’t think of us as bad people. The purpose of what I’m doing is to fulfill the commission Zhongli and Azhdaha gave me."

Saying that, Miss Delezie threw a book she had already prepared to Lumine: "It records the story of the God of Dust, Guizhong. She is the target I want to resurrect this time. Although the recorded content is not comprehensive, as long as you understand the contents, you can more or less understand her story."

"God of Dust... Guizhong? I feel like I’ve heard of her somewhere before. She must be a very famous God."

Lumine and Paimon exchanged glances. Paimon nodded; not only Lumine had an impression of the name Guizhong, but even she felt the name was very familiar.

What concerned them most was that this God was asked to be resurrected by Zhongli and Azhdaha. Could there be some hidden reason behind this?

Noticing the intense gaze from behind, Miss Delezie knew that Lumine and Paimon’s emotions had calmed down, and directly dropped a bombshell.

"Azhdaha told me that if Guizhong hadn’t died in the Archon War, she and Zhongli might have ended up together. And Zhongli also had feelings for Guizhong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so eager for my help after knowing that I resurrected Makoto."

"Zhongli’s... romantic history!?"

Wow! This is big news! The romantic history of the Geo Archon, who would have thought that a person like him also liked someone else.

Interesting, it’s truly too interesting. Lumine and Paimon, completely piqued by this matter, ran over to carefully examine the body Miss Delezie had initially prepared.

At this time, the facial features of the body were already prepared, roughly 80% similar to Guizhong. Although her eyes were closed, it was impossible to see her complete appearance, but this level alone was already astonishing.

"What about Guizhong? Is she like Makoto, right by your side?"

"No, I housed her soul in the chisel-lock of the dust. She should be with Zhongli and Azhdaha now, learning about Liyue’s appearance a thousand years later. If you want to meet her, you can go find Zhongli. She should be..."

Before she could finish, Lumine impatiently took Paimon and ran out, wanting to see if she could witness a side of the Geo Archon that was not usually seen.

The facts did not disappoint Lumine. When she found Zhongli, he and Azhdaha were at the harbor, watching the workers orderly unload cargo from the ships.

Between them was Guizhong in her soul state. Previously, because of Raiden Makoto’s matter, Miss Delezie helped Lumine and Paimon gain the ability to see spirits, which allowed them to better see what this Damselette looked like.

"He’s smiling, Paimon. He seems very happy right now."

"Yes, we rarely saw Zhongli smile before. I didn’t expect him to be smiling the whole time this time. It seems he’s really in a good mood."

Lumine and Paimon watched, chatting and laughing. Occasionally, they would take out their Kamera to capture this rare scene. Being overly unrestrained, they were easily discovered by Zhongli and his companions.

Seeing Lumine and Paimon, Zhongli knew that these two had probably learned the truth of the matter, and walked over somewhat helplessly.

"Hello, Zhongli, Azhdaha. How are you feeling? Aren’t you happy to see an old friend again?"

"Of course, I’m naturally very happy to see Guizhong again. But Zhongli is different; besides happiness, he probably has other emotions mixed in."

Zhongli didn’t respond. He just stood there with his arms crossed as usual. Although he didn’t speak, a faint aura of majesty emanated from him, gradually making Lumine and Paimon dare not be presumptuous.

"Two more people who know your identities have arrived. This girl seems a bit special. Is she the Traveler you mentioned?"

Guizhong curiously floated around Lumine. When Zhongli introduced Miss Delezie to her, he also mentioned Lumine. This Traveler from outside the world piqued her curiosity.

Of course, Guizhong didn’t think Lumine would do anything. After all, when Zhongli introduced Lumine, he said that Miss Delezie didn’t help Liyue for the sake of Liyue Harbor’s residents, but for this beautiful girl. It was to be able to help her when she needed it that Miss Delezie made herself owe a favor.

What kind of girl made Miss Delezie care so much? Guizhong was quite curious. Could it be the same as her situation with Zhongli?

"Hello, little one. You can see me, right? I am Guizhong, the God of Dust. You are Morax’s friend, right? It’s nice to meet you."
